Genetics is a difficult subject for majority of biology teachers and students world-wide. It is recognized that majority of students and even teachers of biology do not fully understand the basic concepts of genetics. They also experience difficulty in solving numerical problems of genetics. During the last few decades, this problem has become more acute due to the impact of molecular biology on genetics. In this article, this problem has been illustrated with the help of some examples of basic concepts, which the author thinks are difficult and are not fully understood by majority of teachers and students. The general problems in teaching of genetics described in this article include inherent variation in ability to understand among students, and resistance to follow scientific teaching among teachers, as demonstrated through well-designed logical experimentation. The solutions suggested for improvement of teaching include interactive teaching and preparations of inventory of difficult concepts, and clickers questions. The resources for improvement of teaching genetics that are being developed by Genetics Society of America (GSA) have been described in some detail. These resources
